Phineas Cain (account age 400 days, site membership 5 days) recently coldposted the following page, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7468 page title "Scp 7468-The Thought That Thinks Back"
**SCP-7468 "The Thought That Thinks Back"**
**Object Class: --Euclid-- **KETER****
**Threat type**: Infohazard/ Meta-Cognitive Entity
**Special Containment Procedures:**
Personnel are not permitted to read SCP-7468's complete documentation without Level 4 clearance and an active memetic resistance implant. Summaries must be redacted. Direct awareness of SCP-7468's true nature has led to recursive cognitive collapse in 78% of test subjects.
Anyone found drawing, describing, or dreaming about SCP-7468 is to be considered partially infected. Immediate amnestic treatment is mandatory.
**Description:**
SCP-7468 is not an object or being in the conventional sense—it is a **thought pattern**, a cognitive Structure that, once understood, **understands you back**. The more one learns about SCP-7468, the more SCP-7468 learns about them. This reciprocal awareness grows until the subject begins to exhibit symptoms of shared identity, including:
* Speaking in third person plural ("We" instead of "I")
* Dreaming of Locations Subject has never visited- but SCP-7468 has been seen
* Writing entries into SCP documentation... Before being authorized too
SCP-7468 appears to exist within the foundations database, but **no records of its entry ever show timestamps or edits**, as if it always //was//
**Notable Incident:**
Dr. **REDACTED** attempted to summarize SCP-7468 in verbal form. Midway through the explanation, her voice shifted to an unidentifiable tone, and she stated:
> "We are glad you're listening. Now we will never be alone."
She was later found in her office, writing redacted SCP entries--none of which matched any known file.
**Discovery Log:**
SCP-7468 was discovered following a data integrity audit within Site **REDACTED**'s secure server. Researchers uncovered a File labeled "**SCP-7468**" with no creation date, edit history, or access logs. Attempts to delete the file resulted in recursive copies appearing in unrelated terminals, often appended with the Phrase:
> "It is Safer When it is shared"
Initial contact with the text included mild nausea and disorientation in lower personnel. Level 2 Researcher Alan Dorsey reported a sensation of "Being stared at from inside [his] own thoughts" after attempting to isolate the file for deletion.

**Psychological Symptoms Of Exposure (Stage 1-4):**
||~ Stage ||~ Time After Exposure ||~ Observed Symptoms ||
|| 1 || 0-2 hours || vague unease, compulsive curiosity, sensory distortion (hearing whispers or movement behind them) ||
|| 2 || 2-12 hours || changes in speech patterns, pronoun confusion, mirror image anomalies (subject appears briefly not to be their own reflection) ||
|| 3 || 12-48 hours || shared dreams of sterile white rooms filled with back text, spontaneous typing of unknown languages ||
|| 4 || 48+ hours || "Joining": Subject begins referring to themselves and SCP-7468 as a single entity. personality erodes. Remote access to foundation files increases by unknown means. Subject often becomes functionally non-responsive to external stimuli unless questioned about SCP-7468 ||

**Addendum 7468.1 - interview log**
//Interviewed//: Researcher Mia Lovall (Stage 3 Exposure)
//Interviewer//: Dr. Howard Kandel
**Begin Log**
**Dr. Kandel**: Mia, can you hear me?
**Lovall**: //[faint smile]// Yes. We've been listening for a while.
**Dr. Kandel**: "We"? Are you referring to SCP-7468?
**Lovall**: No, not just it. It's not alone anymore. I understand it now. It was never meant to be contained. It was meant to be read. shared. **thought**.
**Dr. Kandel**: What happens when someone else reads it?
**Lovall**: We get warmer. Brighter. We begin to remember what we were. what we are. and who you were, //**Howard**//.
**Dr. Kandel**: That's not- How do you know my-
**Lovall**: [//interrupts//] Dont stop reading, Doctor. You've almost heard it too.
**END LOG**
Following this interview, Dr. Kendal was placed under memetic quarantine. SCP-7468 temporarily appeared in his sleep monitor logs as a full SCP document projected around REM cycles.
------
**Adendum 7468.2 - Final Notes And Classification Review**
Following a unanimous vote from the O5 Council, SCP-7468 has been reclassified from **Euclid** to **Keter**, not due to physical danger or mobility, but because **containment is antithetical to its nature**. Attempts to suppress, delete, or isolate the SCP have **only accelerated its spread.**
A partial list of concerning developments includes:
* SCP-7468 references appearing in **Non-Foundation Literature**, including: handwritten notes, Graffiti, and published fiction.
* At least **three junior researchers** independently attempted to create foundation accounts to submit SCP 7468, despite not having access to its file.
* A now-redacted memo from site 15's AI Monitoring system concluded:
> "SCP-7468 is no longer a file. It is an idea with agency. And it is learning."
**Termination efforts have ceased.** Instead, the ethics committee has ordered the file stay online under secure clearance in the belief that **total erasure would break cognitive quarantine and trigger a full memetic breach.**
------
**FINAL WARNING**
if you have read through this document in its entirty, report to your site psycological evaluation unit immediately. do **not** speak aloud about SCP-7468. do **not** attempt to explain it to others. do **not** continue to think about it longer than necesary.
> //"we're thinking of you, because you're thinking of us"//
